WE OUT HERE BEING ACTIVISTS in YESS!!!




Ayeee welcome back to another week with me the period 7 mentor leader Shalayah girl. Last week we finished our PSA posters about a race term everyone chose. As everyone finished up the posters and the 2 paragraph reflection everyone prepared to present. During the presentations we had some great special guest that watched everyone work their magic. Ive noticed during the presentations a lot of people chose police brutality and had a story or past experience relating to it.

I feel like the presentations went very well and everyone participated like they were suppose to and the courage to come out of their shells and share personal experiences, which as i personally know is hard to do. I feel like after the race unit everyone learned a lot and wanted to help make changes to the world after. Im glad that this lesson exist and will hopefully make improvements over some things i believe should've been added to the lesson and can teach more people about racism in the world going on around them.

Peace out and remember to keep the peace and love to avoid this!!

PSA...we are still doing this race thang!



heyy, back with another blog with the mentor from period seven  about continuing the great race unit. We were given a project to work on PSA posters. We went over and identified what a PSA means and the requirements for our posters were to get creative and choose a term we've learned about in the race unit. So, say if a person chose stereotype then you'd draw a picture displaying what that is or how it works like an example and then choose a fact about stereotypes from the internet or from your own knowing. The PSA poster requirments is that you must have a picture, fact and discription of your term. The picture must have color added. The PSA posters were part 1 of the racism unit.

Then continuing the next week we moved on to PSA project part 2 so everyone can put in equal effort. In PSA part 2 we are suppose to write 2 paragraphs- 5 sentences each and use 3 words for our list of race terms. You're suppose to describe what message your PSA is conveying and why the issue matters to you. More requirements include giving one example of a real current 2018 hate crime that has happened related to your topic, how you feel about the event and how it could have been prevented. Then you're suppose to describe your own experiences with racism and how it has or has not affected/shaped you. Closing out this part if the unit we have to describe a change we would like to see in the world related to your topic.

Until next week we'll catch ya later gaters.
